Where is home?

[virgin_lust]

I've been very confused recently about where I consider home. Past few weeks, I've started thinking about how at home I feel here in Perth, something I never thought would ever happen because I used to despise Perth purely because I was forced to move here. I've made some really good friends here & feel like I've found a place here where I fit.

But

I think it really depends on where you are in your life. I'm 26 now but I've been living out of Adelaide since I was 19.

19 - lived in Perth for 6 months
20 - lived in USA for 6 months
21 - lived in Sydney for a year
24 - lived in London for a year

now at 26 years old, I've been living in Brisbane for 16 months and it's the place I've lived longest aside from Adelaide.

I will tell you that I felt homesickness in all the above places except for London. I didn't want to leave London because I loved it and I was always so excited to go there and so when I was living there it was heaven. I was also extremely lucky that I had a partner and a good group of friends who I've known for years.

I don't like Brisbane as much as London and really have issues with living in Australia at times but Brisbane is good for me at the moment and where I'm at in my life. I need to be away from large social circles so I can commit to study and I'm enjoying time with my partner with just the two of us.

I can definitely see myself doing what you've done & moving around alot! First I need to commit to uni for 3 years though. What are you studying & how much have u got left? How long have u been with your partner?

I'm so sorry you feel homesick =( I feel like when you love a place, it never leaves you.

Yes that's very true! This is why I'm so motivated to go to uni & come out with a good paying job so I can afford to go back to NZ often aswell as travel the world :)
